The domain aftermarket enjoyed a
very solid week led by three 6-figure sales including one that ranks among the year's
ten biggest transactions and another that is
the second biggest non .com sale reported so far in 2011. Sedo's
$352,500 sale of DataCenter.com set the pace. In addition
to leading our new weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart
that deal is also #7 on our Year
To Date Top 100 Sales Chart.

A second blockbuster,
Billionaire.com at $215,000 took the #2 slot on this
week's Big Board, followed by the year's 2nd biggest non .com sale.
That was Cars.net, a domain that the Domain
Developers Fund let go for $170,000 in a deal
brokered by UpMarketDNs.com.

Sedo then went on a tear, sweeping the next five positions
en route to claiming 8 of the top 10 places and 15 of the 20 chart
entries over all. Their line up included all three of the ccTLDs
that made the elite list. That country code trio was led by #5 Finance.co
at $45,000 with the other two also reaching the top ten.
Those were #10 (tie) Bitcoin.de and Bitcoins.de at $21,420
each. The Finance.co sale ranks as the 5th biggest ccTLD
transaction reported so far this year.

The non .com gTLDs have four representatives on the new
leader board - all .nets. That huge Cars.net sale was the
headliner in this category of course, followed by the AfternicDLS
sale of #9 Met.net at $22,500. GoDaddy
Auctions rang up the other two charted .net sales with POF.net
and VPD.net going for $18,000 apiece to tie for the
16th position.

The hits just kept on coming beyond the Top 20 with 13 more
five-figure sales reported. As strong as this week was, a monster
sale is expected to close soon at a price that is higher
than all 20 names on this week's chart put
together. That is a $2.6 million deal for Social.com
that we told you about in a Lowdown
post last night. A
contract has been signed by both the buyer and seller in a deal
co-brokered by Moniker.com's
John Mauriello and Marksmen
Inc.'s Cyntia King on behalf of that company's new sales
division at NameQuiver.com.
Once the transfer of Social.com has been completed it will be chart
eligible and will become the highest reported sale of the year to
date.

Here's how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the
week ending Sunday, June 19:

AfternicDLS

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value sales that have been reported to us in the
past week. This column is meant to be an educational tool,
not a complete list documenting ALL high
value domain sales. Such a list is impossible to produce
because many sales are kept private at the insistence of
buyers, sellers or both. Our procedure for verifying the
accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

Forthe many newcomers entering the domain
industry we also want to point out that the reasons why a domain name sells for a certain price can be varied and are not always clear to those who are unfamiliar with the domain market.
If you do not understand why specific domain names command the
prices they do, you are likely to make unwise domain registrations or purchases.
We highly recommend that you do some basic research beforeyou buyanything! As a starting point we have
built a sister site specifically for you at NameNewbie.com.

There were 13 more five-figure sales off the
chart led by the AfternicDLS/GoDaddy Auctions joint sale of WebsiteSolutions.com
for $15,800. The AfterniicDLS also sold PPS.net for $15,000
and BeatStream.com for $12,000 while GoDaddu Auctions
moved Travita.com for $10,400.

Back at Sedo, Passarela.com posted $15,000,
ProFM.com produced $14,400 and Freundschaft.de
delivered $14,397. They also sold ImmobilienMarkt.ch
($11,850), BlueRepair.com ($11,520), Hosting.in
($11,500) and Shop5.com ($10,000).

Elsewhere, HuntingMoon.com
sold PirvaRai.com for $15,000 and DomainMarket.com
moved ChinaDiscovery.com for $13,000 (DomainMarket owner
Michael Mann reportedly picked up ChinaDiscovery.com on the drop
for a mere $69 just a month before this sale).

.Com Supporting Cast

Sedo led the .com supporting cast of four-figure sales
with AtNow.com and Keepz.com at $9,000 each. Haipu.com
added $8,640, DreamWorld.com went for $8,287
and ViajesReal.com returned $5,760.

OldTimeRadioShows.com dialed in $5,625
while EvanstonHomes.com and BathroomPlace.com banked $5,500
apiece. Subventions.com secured another $5,040 and 7L.com
kicked in $5,010. Sedo had 28 more four-figure .com sales
ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 that are listed in the
table below:

Back at the AfternicDLSBestOfLuxury.com booked $7,500, EducationalLeadership.com
located $7,300 and MetalSupplies.com distributed $6,995.
A four-name logjam at $5,000 apiece followed. That group
included Archiland.com, AttorneyFee.com, JobPlacements.com
and TheLillys.com. Two others; BuzzSolutions.com
and PinkHealth.com provided $4,500 each.

The AfternicDLS had 62 more
.com sales ranging from
$2,000 to $3,688. Those are listed in the table below:

The AfternicDLS/GoDaddy Auctions tandem moved Actsi.com

LadyStyle.com captured $2,800 while
three others; ElGobernador.com, EmergingWorld.com
and GoldPlayer.com turned in $2,788 each. Another
trio of names; Utiliti.com, VirtualLandscaping.com
and WitKit.com captured $2,588 apiece. Still
another threesome that included GiftKey.com, LifeTravel.com
and VeganDelicious.com dished out $2,088 each.

From their own listings GoDaddy Auctions also sold
AngryChicken.com ($8,000), Skyo.com ($5,995), RobotArm.com
($5,738) and Recadospop.com ($5,727).

The half-dozen five-figure country code sales
that
we told you about in the all extension section above filled the
first six spots on this week's new Country Code
Top 20 Sales Chart. Finance.co, the year's 5th biggest
ccTLD sale, occupies the top rung on the ladder.

The highest country code sale you haven't seen yet
is an Italian domain, #7 Preventivi.it at $8,640
via Sedo. Sedo, who traditionally dominates the ccTLD category,
wound up sweeping all 20 chart entries. The top ten was
rounded out by #8 (tie) Bangkok.ch and Impotent.ch at $7,200
each and Collective.tv at $6,500.

Germany's.de had the most chart entries
with seven, followed by Switzerland's .ch with four. Here is how the Country Code Top 20 stacked
up for the week ending June 19:

If there are country code extensions in our report
that you are not familiar with, you can look up the nation each
extension goes with here.

Non .com gTLDs (.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .asia, .pro & .tel)

Cars.net insured that this would be a
memorable week for the non .com gTLDs. In addition to
headlining the weekly Top 20
Chart that $170,000 sale is the year's second biggest in
this category (and is also bigger than any ccTLD sale reported so
far this year).

Four other domains cracked the five-figure barrier.
We listed all of those on the all extension section earlier so the
highest non .com gTLD sale you haven't seen yet is #6 UPG.org,
sold by GoDaddy Auctions for $8,800. Another 3-letter .org,
#7 MOZ.org, was close behind after selling at the AfternicDLS
for $8,600. Still another, GGI.org, is #8 with a $7,416
sale at Sedo. Three-letter domains are always popular but this is
the first time I've seen them take so many chart positions - eight
of the first ten and 11 spots overall.

Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the
week ending June 19:

There were several dozen additional four-figure
non .com gTLD sales just off the chart led by two sales at the
AfternicDLS; OnlineITDegrees.net and TeeTime.net at
$2,500 apiece. They also sold PowerControl.net for $2,388
and Z11.net for $2,094.

The AfternicDLS
has 20 more non .com gTLD sales ranging from $1,000
to $2,000 that are listed in the table below:

We truly appreciate the industry leading
